ODROID-C1+

ODROID-C1

Specifications

8GB/64GB : Toshiba
eMMC 16GB/32GB : Sandisk iNAND Extreme
The eMMC storage access time is 2-3 times faster than the SD card. You can purchase 4 size options: 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. Using an eMMC module will increase speed and responsiveness, similar to the way in which upgrading to a Solid State Drive (SSD) in a typical PC also improves performance over a mechanical hard drive (HDD).

There are two different methods of storage for the operating system.
One is by using a MicroSD Card and another is using an eMMC module, which is normally used for external storage for smartphones and digital cameras.
The ODROID-C1 can utilize the newer UHS-1 SD model, which is about 2 times faster than a normal class 10 card.
Note that there are some cards which needs additional booting delay time around 30 seconds.
According to our test, most Sandisk Micro-SD cards don't cause the booting delay. We will make a compatibility list soon.

5V2A DC input

his is for 5V power input, with an inner diameter of 0.8mm, and an outer diameter of 2.5mm. The ODROID-C1 consumes less than 0.5A in most cases, but it can climb to 2A if many passive USB peripherals are attached directly to the main board.

USB host ports

There are four USB 2.0 host ports.
You can plug a keyboard, mouse, WiFi adapter, storage or many other devices into these ports.
You can also charge your smartphone with it! If you need more than 4 ports, you can use a powered external USB hub to reduce the power load on the main device.

Micro HDMI port

To minimize the size of the board, we used the Type-D micro-HDMI connector.

Ethernet RJ-45 jack

The standard RJ45 Ethernet port for LAN connection supports 10/100/1000Mbps speed.

Status / Power LEDs

The ODROID-C1 has four indicator LEDs that provide visual feedback.
Red LED : Power Hooked up to 5V power
Blue LED
Alive Solid light : u-boot is running
Flashing : Kernel is running (heart beat)

Infrared (IR) receiver

This is a remote control receiver module that can accept standard 37.9Khz carrier frequency based wireless data in NEC format.

Micro USB OTG port

You can use the standard micro-USB connector with Linux Gadget drivers on your host PC, which means that the resources in the ODROID-C1 can be shared with typical PCs.
You can also add a micro-USB to HOST connector if you need an additional USB host port.
Note that this port cannot be used for power input if you have the original C1. C1+ can accept the power input.

General Purpose Input and Output (GPIO) ports

These 40pin GPIO port can be used as GPIO/I2C/SPI/UART/ADC for electronics and robotics.
The 40 GPIO pins on an ODROID-C1 are a great way to interface with physical devices like buttons and LEDs using a lightweight Linux controller.
If you’re a C/C++ or Python developer, there’s a useful library called WiringPi that handles interfacing with the pins. We’ve already ported the WiringPi v2 library to ODROID-C1.
Note that all the GPIO ports are 3.3Volt. The ADC inputs are limited to 1.8Volt.

Serial console port

Connecting to a PC gives access to the Linux console.
You can see the log of the boot, or to log in to the C1 to change the video or network settings.
Note that this serial UART uses a 3.3 volt interface. We recommend the USB-UART module kit from Hardkernel.
Molex 5268-04a(2.5mm pitch) is mounted on the PCB. Its mate is Molex 50-37-5043 Wire-to-Board Crimp Housing.

RTC (Real Time Clock) backup battery connector

If you want to add a RTC functions for logging or keeping time when offline, just connect a Lithium coin backup battery (CR2032 or equivalent).
All of the RTC circuits are included on the ODROID-C1 by default.
